Management Team Popular Post Aquaticalo 447 Posted December 15, 2020 Management Team Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hello hello everyone! As you guys have probably seen already this interview might be a little bit different as Sofie was a bit busy tonight so I had to step in and make some of the final edits. Hopefully you guys still enjoy it and I want to shout out Sofie for all her hard work on the Forums of the past few weeks. Despite how busy she’s been, she always pulls through with amazing ideas 💚. [Sofieology] Today, I am honored to be interviewing the amazing @StitcherSam!! Sam is a moderator on Palace and a former Events Coordinator! She is known for her feverish love for the Avengers (specifically Chris Evans as Captain America) and her ACA creative show company. We all adore her positive attitude and her effort to help out with everything she can! Here she is, America’s a-mazing actress, Sam! [Sofieology] How are you doing, Sam? [StitcherSam] Hihi! My name is StitcherSam, or Sam for short! I am a current Guest Relations Moderator on the server, along with a member of both the Creative and Events teams. I have been part of the staff team for a little over a year now (November 26th, 2019), and have enjoyed every single second of it! My favorite events have been Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Wookie Weekend, along with the events I have taken part in co-hosting: Marvel-A-Thon and the famous Palace Awards! I'm also one of those Creative geeks, so if you'd like to spot me on the server any time, chances are I'm either building or working on show creator things on my plot(s). [Sofieology] You are a moderator on Palace! Can you give us an insight to what you do? Any special things you are involved in? What has been your hardest Palace project? [StitcherSam] As a Moderator, it's basically my task to ensure that guests leave with a smile on their faces to signify that they've had a satisfying time on the server. It's such a great feeling to know you're part of the reason a guest is as happy as they are - when you go out of your way to add a bit of magic to their time spent here - whether they're having a great day already, or are a bit down in the dumps. I'm involved with the Creative and Events teams (as mentioned in the previous question), which means I dig a bit deeper into what it really means to be part of these teams instead of viewing them from an outside point of view - sort of like going behind the scenes (or magic, haha) of certain things guests can't really see. My hardest Palace project probably had to be the Harold's Birthday Bash event, as it was my first event as an Events Coordinator. While the event had been more than successful, it was a bit tough to work on haha - but it was a great experience! [Sofieology] You used to be one of our Events Coordinators! What was it like working in Events? [StitcherSam] It was such a wonderful opportunity to get to experience the Events Coordinator position! As an Events Coordinator, I was able to be part of the magic when planning and creating memorable events for guests of all ages to enjoy - whether it were a WDW-based or USO-based event. Unfortunately, as I did not have enough time on my hands to continue fulfilling this position, I had thought best to give it up for someone who had perfectly qualified for this position. This is where I basically returned to my old home, Creative, haha. [Sofieology] Talk to me about creative! What is it about Creative that you find so interesting? I know that you are very active over there with ACA and direct guest ran shows! [StitcherSam] Oh my, what is there *not* to talk about when it comes to Creative? Creative, for starters, is a place where those who have imaginative and - well - creative minds can explore, create, and enjoy. This part of the server, which is **severely** underrated, has a generally small community with big hearts and an even bigger imagination. The best part of being part of this community is really just seeing guests put their minds to work while planning out things like theme parks, theatre productions/firework productions, towns, etc. - and then seeing it all work out in the end. And yes - you are correct! I am the Chairwoman of ACA Entertainment, a custom Creative company created with the sole purpose of being a new source of entertainment for guests to experience and enjoy. I work alongside @BrerRabbit_ and a large team of staff members to create theme parks and theatre productions for all to enjoy. Before ACA's rise, however, I had worked alongside @Super_Lego_13 on Aladdin: The Palace Musical back in May 2020. This show had been so successful, we had been featured in Palace Awards! It was amazing getting to direct and choreograph players who were willing to be stars on a stage, whether they had prior experience or were completely new to this whole performing-in-Minecraft thing. And to those who are probably waiting for more productions - maybe, *just maybe*, there'll be more in the future. [Sofieology] Let’s get to know Sam outside of Palace! Tell us a bit about yourself! [StitcherSam] I'm a very laid-back, chill, and quiet person in general from the outside. Once I get comfortable, though, I can almost never stay silent! I can always go babbling on about things I always geek over - like ACA, Marvel, Disney, etc. I'm generally introverted at times but can become extroverted very quickly. I'm a very understanding, caring, and loving person, and am always willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed - which is mainly why I'm more of a "mom friend." I'm always up to meeting new faces, it's wonderful to get to know new people! [Sofieology] Since you love both Disney and USO, what have been some of your favorite memories from each parks? Favorite event in real life? [Stitcher Sam] Honestly, any time I've been in the parks has been my favorite. In real life, however, there was one specific moment that had been and always will be my all-time favorite. Back then, before all of these current events, I had done this trick where I had spotted a cast member with a neutral face, told them that they had dropped their smile while pointing to the ground, and handed them a random pin that I wasn't able to trade throughout the day. Well, this one time I had done said the trick with an Adventureland cast member. She had laughed, asked which attraction we were trying to get on, went backstage for a moment, and returned with fastpasses for Seven Dwarves Mine Train (which, at the time, had been one of those new attractions)! Definitely my favorite moment ever. On the topic of real-life events, that favorite event title has to go to Mickey's Very Merry. Absolutely love seeing the beautiful lights hanging from everywhere around the Magic Kingdom! ❤️ [Sofieology] What are your thoughts on @WowItsCow? What about @ActualFacts? [Stitcher Sam] 🥩🍽️ and #BringBackStitcherSamuel. [Sofieology] You are also on a Hogwarts server with me where you are a Gryffiindor Prefect!! What makes you a Gryffindor? Who is your favorite character and why? [Stitcher Sam] Ahh, good question! I believe the characteristic that makes me most a Gryffindor is my willingness to stand up for those in need, and for both my friends/family and myself. Surprisingly, I don't really have a favorite character from the Harry Potter series - but from the Wizarding World itself, I'd have to say Newt Scamander from the Fantastic Beasts series. He's honestly such an adorable human being! His love for creatures outgrows his love for humans, and it's just so cute seeing him care for creatures people wouldn't dare go near. [Sofieology] You have been a part of Palace for a while! What are some of your favorite memories? [Stitcher Sam] Some of my favorite memories include becoming part of the staff team, sponsoring my first attraction (The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man), creating ACA Entertainment, directing/choreographing Aladdin: The Palace Musical, and meeting so many of the friends I have today! [Sofieology] Anything else you’d like to add? [Stitcher Sam] Nothing much - just a big thank you to everyone who had taken the time to read through this interview! Hope you have an amazing day, and happy holidays, Sofie! ❤️ 19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
